The steam requirements of a manufacturing facility are being met by a boiler whose rated heat input is 5.5 x 3^106 Btu/h. The co

mbustion efficiency of the boiler is measured to be 0.7 by a hand-held flue gas analyzer. After tuning up the boiler, the combustion efficiency rises to 0.8. The boiler operates 4200 hours a year intermittently. Taking the unit cost of energy to be $4.35/10^6 Btu, determine the annual energy and cost savings as a result of tuning up the boiler.

Answer:

Energy Saved = 6.93 x 10⁹ Btu

Cost Saved = $ 30145.5

Explanation:

The energy generated by each boiler can be given by the following formula:

Annual\ Energy = (Heat\ In)(Combustion\ Efficiency)(Operating\ Hours)

Now, the energy saved by the increase of efficiency through tuning will be the difference between the energy produced before and after tuning:

Energy\ Saved = (Heat\ In)(Efficiency\ After\ Tune - Efficiency\ Before\ Tune)(Hours)Energy\ Saved = (5.5\ x\ 3\ x\ 10^{6}\ Btu/h)(0.8-0.7)(4200\ h)

<u>Energy Saved = 6.93 x 10⁹ Btu</u>

Now, for the saved cost:

Cost\ Saved = (Energy\ Saved)(Unit\ Cost)\\Cost\ Saved = (6.93\ x\ 10^{9}\ Btu)(\$4.35/10^{6}Btu)\\

<u>Cost Saved = $ 30145.5</u>

Define waves as it applies to electromagnetic fields
julsineya [31]

Waves in the electric and magnetic fields are known as electromagnetic waves. You must first understand what a field is, which is just a technique of giving each square inch of space a numerical value. You may see that as a temperature field, for instance, when you look at the weather predictions and they mention the temperature in several locations. Every location on Earth has a unique temperature that can be quantified. Everywhere on Earth has its own wind velocity, which is another form of field. This field differs somewhat from the temperature field in that the wind velocity has both a direction and a magnitude, whereas the temperature just has a magnitude (how hot it is). A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction, hence a field that contains vectors at every location is referred to as a vector field. Vector fields include the magnetic and electric fields. We may examine what would happen if we placed a charged particle at any given position in space. If the charged particle were to accelerate, we would state that the electric field there is the direction in which the particle is moving. In general, positively charged particles will move in the electric field's direction, whereas negatively charged particles will move in the opposite way. Because it is a vector field, the magnetic field exhibits comparable behavior. We discovered in the 19th century that the same interaction, electromagnetism, really produces both electric and magnetic fields. Like an electromagnet, a changing electric field will produce a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field will induce an electric field (like in a generator). If your system is configured properly, you may have an electric field that fluctuates, which in turn produces a magnetic field, which in turn induces another electric field, which in turn generates another magnetic field, and so on indefinitely. At the speed of light, this oscillation between a strong magnetic field and strong electric field spreads out indefinitely. In reality, light is an electromagnetic wave—an oscillation in the electromagnetic fields. An electric or magnetic field may exist without a medium since they exist in a vacuum, which implies that waves in these fields don't require a medium like sound to flow through.

What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that consists of 4.5 wt% Pb and 95.5 wt% Sn?
jeka57 [31]

Answer: Option A is correct -- 2.6 at% Pb and 97.4 at% Sn.

Explanation:

Option A is the only correct option -- 2.6 at% Pb and 97.4 at% Sn. While option B, which is 7.6 at% Pb and 92.4 at% Sn. and option C, which is 97.4 at% Pb and 2.6 at% Sn. and option D, which is 92.4 at% Pb and 7.6 at% Sn. are wrong.

/* C Program to rotate matrix by 90 degrees */

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{

int matrix[100][100];

int m,n,i,j;

printf("Enter row and columns of matrix: ");

scanf("%d%d",&m,&n);

 

/* Enter m*n array elements */

printf("Enter matrix elements: \n");

for(i=0;i<m;i++)

{

 for(j=0;j<n;j++)

 {

  scanf("%d",&matrix[i][j]);

 }

}

 

/* matrix after the 90 degrees rotation */

printf("Matrix after 90 degrees roration \n");

for(i=0;i<n;i++)

{

 for(j=m-1;j>=0;j--)

 {

  printf("%d  ",matrix[j][i]);

 }

 printf("\n");

}

 

return 0;
